Still working hard, chalets coming on. Finished in a month?
Access to telecabine still a bit tricky with crane, concrete factory and multiple diggers in the way. Two chalets on the left are growing fast. Hope they remember to put the snow cannons back in. Ferg. Ski deep.
Another new Magic Carpet lift in La Tania. ESF raise their game
ESF finally wake up to the challenge been thrown down by the Magic Snowsports boys… with a little magic of their own! ESF worked late last night (and were here again at 07:30!) to install a new magic carpet on their nursery slope. Gone is the old rope tow… replaced by a shiny travelator!
Beginners now have two separate areas within the ski school on which to learn the art of turning and stopping before venturing onto the Troika slope.
Meanwhile Magic Snowsports have a new beginners area and travelator lift at the top of the La Tania gondola for the coming Winter.

Team Bozel and La Tania at the Ice Hockey in 1850
Team Bozel & La Tania venture to the dizzy heights of 1850 to watch local side Vanoise get hammered by the bigger, stronger, faster, more skillful boys of Chamonix… But our boys have the nicer kit! 11-2 down, not long left for a fight back… Jonboy www.3vt.co.uk

New Beginners Area Top of Gondola
Landscaping looks virtually complete on the new beginners area opposite the top the La Tania bubble. Presumably one or two magic carpets to be installed. Pretty chilly and foggy up there yesterday. Nick and Joey www.nickskithreevalleys.co.uk
